Nothing says love like a romantic stroll in the snow looking at Christmas lights or even a helicopter ride above snowy scenery. If you’re tech savvy, go beyond spelling your message on the roof and sync up your house’s Christmas lights to flash to the tune of a special song. She’ll be blown away.

Breanna asked if we could do a snow engagement session and we of course said YES. We’re not bothered by working in all kinds of weather- it makes for interesting and creative images! Breanna arranged for her friend’s beautiful horse and carriage and secured permission for shooting at the location. Breanna also brought the antique sled. She’s a bride with a vision!

The engagement ring contains vintage diamonds from my grandmother. They were reset in white gold. I knew that Taylor was using the diamonds from my grandmother, but I was surprised at the setting. I think he did a fantastic job of featuring the 5 stones in a really beautiful way. I wanted something simple and timeless and it’s exactly that.

Jon planned the whole trip! He invited two of our friends to come on our snowboarding trip to Whiteface Mountain in Wilmington, New York, January 2015. Jon booked a stay at a wildlife refuge since I love animals so much.

I obviously wanted it to be a big surprise so I figured I’d engage the help of my fiance’s boss. Lulu’s a school teacher and her principal was key in getting the whole plan down.

It was our first Christmas living together and we spent a lot of time decorating for the holidays, and were very proud of our first home and tree and it felt like the perfect place and time of year to make a memory.
